To H. W. Bates [before 29 December 1880]1
[Down.]
Private
Huxley thinks that the Presidents had better sign in a body, so that the Memorial shall be sent to you afterwards for your signature with an envelope addressed to Sir J. Hooker, if you will forward it without delay.—2
C. D
As I do not know Ld. Aberdare’s address I have not enclosed an envelope: could you write outside the envelope “To be forwarded if not at home”; for it is very important that the Memorial shd. reach Mr Gladstone before Parliament meets—3 I have got the Duke of Argyll to write a private letter to Mr. G. in favour of the pension.—4
